Girls

While several recent popular books address
the topic of girls' "meanness" to one another, this volume offers the first
balanced, scholarly analysis of scientific knowledge in this area. Integrating current
research on emotion regulation, gender, and peer relations, the book examines how girls
are socialized to experience and express anger and aggression from infancy through
adolescence. Considered are the developmental functions of such behaviors as gossip,
friendship manipulation, and social exclusion; consequences for both victims and
perpetrators; and approaches to intervention and prevention. Presenting innovative
research models and methods, this is an accessible and much-needed synthesis for
researchers, professionals, and students.
